    This is a fabulous tour. Be prepared to be tired and happy all at the same time. The bus travel is long and gives you a great chance to see the local houses, the people and the countryside. Not a trip for the unfit or less mobile person but a surprise every day for all.

    · May 7th, 2024
    We have previously travelled with Gate 1 Small Group tours with great success. Our travel agent recommended Insight Vacations for our Scandinavia vacation. We liked their itinerary and booked their small group tour six months in advance. Two months before the trip our tour was cancelled "due to operational reasons and lack of participation". We requested but were refused compensation for costs incurred related to our unrecoverable travel and insurance expenses for this cancellation. They said, "read our fine print, we do not have to compensate you." DO NOT TRUST Insight Vacations. Never again. Go with Gate 1.

    An excellent and enjoyable tour with so much amazing scenery. Greg's knowledge, enthusiasm, commitment to us and his warm personality added so much to our experience. A special mention to our driver Zoltan whose skill and friendly nature made us all feel very safe and relaxed. Greg and Zoltan worked so well together. Would highly recommend the tour, Greg and Zoltan

    The whole tour was amazing. i didn't realise what there was in the 3 countries we visited. The scenery was out if this world. Gregs knowledge of the area was very good and he had some good ideas for place to go on our free time. Zultan the driver was so good (i'm a driver myself) at negotiating the twist and turns of the roads. Not easy with a bus!!! Goerge our relief driver was also very good. This is the best tour I have been one (my 1st insight tour) I have been with 2 other companies in the past and this tour , driver and tour leader were out front by a very long margin.

    Our Tour Director, Greg Collin went over and above. All upbeat, helpful and made tour extra special with his attention to detail. This is the second trip I have had Zoltan Lukacsz as our driver he is brilliant. The coach is always clean, he even cleans the front windows every time we stop for a break. It was great to see the driver and director working so well together.

    A fantastic trip, our guide Greg and driver Zolton were exceptional. I have done many trips with Insight and as well as many, many with other companies but have to say Greg Colgin went out of his way making my trip one of the best ever. A very attentive Tour Director and attention to details the best. As for Zoltan this is the second trip I have travelled with him as driver, a driver I Trust and feel safe with and a man that goes out of his way to make our experience even better. A lovely clean coach each day with beautifully cleaned windows is always a plus. As for Insight I just love the roomy coaches with extra leg space.
